3 GOATS lost this yearSad thing is this felt inevitable. Crazy we lost two of probably the 10 most famous athletes ever in the same year
It reminds me of 2016 when we lost Bowie, Prince, Ali, Princess Leia and her mom, George Michael, Fidel Castro (died the same day as Maradona), Cruyff, Kimbo, Pat Summit, Gordie Howe and Afeni Shakur, just to name a few.3 GOATS lost this year
Kobe,EVH,Maradona
He won a World Cup by himself, something that nobody had ever done before or since. Brazil didn’t need Pele to win (see 1962).
Argentina wasn’t even mentioned among the favorites in 1986. He took a bunch of nobodies to the title.
Personally, I’ve never seen a player so gifted with the ball on his feet. Think Jimi Hendrix or Eddie Van Halen with a guitar.
Pele might have been a more complete player but Maradona was pure genius.
“What Zidane can do with a ball, Maradona could do it with an orange.”
- Platini
Imagine you are Messi and everyone claims you are the goat yet your own country doesn’t claim you as the goat because the witnesses the true GOAT.
RIP to the GOAT
I feel because I felt the same with Kobe.
2020 took some heavy names like we didn't have enough reasons to always remember this shytty year.
Argentina was OK but Napoli? They were veeeery far from being OK. They were nonfactors which Diego took to win Serie A and the UEFA cup with his heavy balls and magic feet.
Neither Argentina or Napoli team were 'championship' status before Diego.
Nobody, nobody in the history of football did that. That's why he will forever be 1 step above EVERYONE when it's all said and done.
Tested by fate, unprofessional life, barely training and he still did that.
That's why he is regarded as a demi-god. Because he made the mistakes humans make but against all odds he ended on top, like Gods.
the sonning he gave to italy and they turn on him
